TF 58 raid 16/17 Feb 1945

[Gzychu]

I have written an article covering 16/17 Feb raid. List of sources is almost twice as long as in the first post! However, it's in Polish. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Someone is always interested, later if not sooner. I've purposely moved threads long stale eight years to the top simply because they had use full and interesting information

I do know there was a 2nd Lt. Daniel V. Hayes from VMF-216 lost returning to the USS Wasp from
a mission Honshu (no details). There was also a pilot from VMF-217, 1st Lt. Rolland V. Vaughn, Jr.
lost on the same mission, as well as VMF-217's C.O. Rolland Vaughn. Still looking for specifics--the C.O. of -216 at that time might still be around.
